[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
There's a phone app on the Ouku which allows you to pair your phone via bluetooth.

Yes you do need an external USB BT dongle to use any Android apps that require BT. Only a limited number of BT dongles work, if your sole purpose would be for OBD2 you are better off with a USB one like Don mentions.

Just installed 6.2 Ouku

Hey this is my first post and have been looking through this thread for an hour or so...good stuff--I think there will be lots to learn.

I had a couple questions after my first couple days using my unit. Sooo I have the version 2.3.4 all stock and I think it's resistive, but I'll have to double check tomorrow..it has the two knobs on the bottom left and right- I'll learn to post pics later.

1. I have a Galaxy S4 rooted and a free wifi hotspot that I've been connecting and getting slow internet speed through the unit and also even when parked in my garage I am even getting slow speeds with my home wifi- which is 50 megs. Do i need to move the wifi dongle behind the unit to get a better signal? Or maybe the wifi dongle it came with is crappy? Or do you guys often upgrade the wifi dongle? Should I get a 3g dongle instead?

2. When I connect my phone through bluetooth or wired with micro usb I can play music but I can't search artists, songs, etc. Also, when I just insert the sd card with music I can't find playlists either. What works best for you guys? I wanna be able to just leave a micro sd in there but it doesn't seem to be recognizing it correctly. Which do you all use?

3. I like doing research and all, but there are 2500 posts here...so maybe if anyone just wants to input some of their favorite "must do's" or upgrades that they like. If there any update or rom I should get right away? I'm not a huge techy but I wanna learn haha. Im just looking to listen to good tunes in style and watch movies, etc. Any input is great and thanks in advance and sorry if any rules were broken. Glad to be here!
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
I would try moving the wifi dongle so it isn't surrounded by a lot of metal or anything, mine sits in the glove box with just a plastic door.

BT just supports streaming of music with simple controls (play/pause, next, prev). The default music app doesn't support playlists, the tab that says 'playlist' should really be 'now playing'.

The wiki page as most of the basic information.
[Android Head-Units] hmosquera:
anyone can help me with my problem? Please

Have any kind of solution?

Again many thanks :)
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
Your "solution" will need to be addressed by the app's developer. We have very little control over the MCU which facilitates the CAN Bus signals that allows for it.

Btw, you can bypass the link restriction because you have less than 10 posts by surrounding the URL with an underscore "_". For example, _http://www.ebay.com/itm/251411281370_ we won't be able to click on it but we know if enough to copy and paste the URL into the browser.

Yes, regardless of the model (even WinCE) can stream music via bluetooth.

HI! Best regards, this is my second post, I'm new to this exciting forum, congratulations!

First of all I want to express my very basic English language is why I use Google Translate, so some expressions may not be very clear, sorry.

I've searched the forum and found no answer to a question that is presented to me with a unit 2 DIN mark HKHONDA Series I001 I recently purchased, it brings Android OS 2.3 (itself a good unit but the GUI dedicated to this sO is very, very poor), the list is rather extensive problems but my basic query is whether you can make the change Android OS to OS WinC6.0 as I think it will be more stable, is this possible?.

In my files I have to upgrade the device for both OS.

Another query, I have a ELM327 bluetooth device, it is possible that the device can connect to 2 DIN?, When not recognized, is there any way?

Thank you very much.

MIC

The mic was a donor mic from an old Foscam camera which normally have pretty good mics in them. I hard wired it to the existing board wires. After extended use I've found that there is really no benefit and more of an eye sore. Next time I open the unit back up I'm going to secure the mic back inside the unit.

I've love that the front Aux works in Torque. I'm looking for a DVR app that records in the backgroud. I think ill need to rewire the Aux audio to directly to one of audio out signals so audio still plays when the Aux is open.
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
Are you sure that this is the correct thread to post in? The look of the radio is not conclusive enough to draw that conclusion. I checked the HK Honda website and there is no mention of the model that you described. Also, most of the models in their inventory seem to be based on the Samsung S5PV210 CPU which is normally associated with a different thread, Check Post #2343 for the correct CPU to thread reference.

Mirroring with S4

Is there a way to just mirror the Galaxy s4 screen? And when I plug in my usb or sd card it basically just shows all my music in the stock music folder- is there a better way to search by artist, song, etc or a better music player. Thanks guys...

i´m sorry

From already thank you very much for your response.

Right, it's not the appropriate thread, so sorry was not my intention but, again, it was the only place I found where it is similar to my problems, perhaps by the ignorance of the language I was wrong.

UNbranded Ouku Questions

I just got this unit and was wondering if there is a fix for the google account integration and it's failure to log in properly. It seems that google services try to log in and fail causing problems with maps and Navigation.

I also use an app called taximeter and it never gets the gps fix. I assume the gps isnt playing nice with some android aps?

I love the idea behind this unit but I wish I had gone for the dual core 4.1 model.

Anyone know if the 4.1 firmware can be used by this older unit? Upgrade?

Has anyone tested this with a bluetooth or USB mouse and keyboard?

Let's get back to the development of better software choices for this radio.

Android 4.0 + would be great!

Also, the bluetooth phone system is driving me absolutely crazy. I find it easier just hitting the 1 number speed dial on my phone to make outgoing calls.

Can someone please help us with this part of the radio? I'd love to see the phone directory something close to what our android phones have.

Lastly, to be able to get the android OS to see the rear video input (backup camera) or aux 1 (front camera) would allow us have driving DVRs recording everything (in case of accidents, tickets, etc.)

I really hope we get a developer to join our ranks soon!

THANKS!! Update MCU and System with rooted versions!! Everything working GREAT!! and i rooted this new one.. even better!! No problems at all with wifi connectivity to Play store or Browser..

One thing i noticed when i was having this problem before rooting was the notification at the top of the screen popping up when i connected to wifi before saying "tethering or hotspot active"...Thinking that was the issue since i never had that on the other unit i had.....

After updated and rooted.. notification is gone! Streaming, downloading, and surfing lightening speed from Droid Bionic wifi tether..... Also boot time is 3 times as fast!!

Note: I am on verizon network using PDA Net... no blocks from Verizon works great!

Thanks for the help guys!!

ok but If the unit have capacitive screen.... i can use the HAL9K´s custom firmware?

the screen operation will have any problem?

i suppose that the custom firmware is for a unit with resistive screen.....maybe it will can cause any problem if the screen is capacitive instead of resistive.

what do you think?

[Android Head-Units] koocheese:
I'm interested in this device, seems like the russian guys have done us all a favor by rooting this rom (quicker boot side effect).

I watched the youtube video and didn't think I could deal with the 40+ sec boot times, but like some of you mentioned, after the root and apps removed, its around 20 sec which is roughly what it takes for my honda nav to boot up.

I saw all the devices listed on ebay and was a little skeptical of their potential but seems like there's a bit of interest in it. Before I looked at these devices I was considering at Nexus 7 feeding into a single din head unit in order to have a rotary volume knob, pre-outs and tuning capabilities, but android doesnt have a camera in feature, this device may just fit my bill.

I've read through the 24 pages, doesn't seem like anyone has mentioned sound quality of this unit?

What vehicle are you running this in?

Anyone ditch their oem radio/nav for this?
[Android Head-Units] vwman:
I would have to say that the audio quality is much better then my OEM head unit. '08 Outback.

I do have to say that my boot times have not sped up, but I haven't cleaned up the unit. I also have an iPod plugged in at all times for my audiobooks, so that may be affecting boot times.

[Android Head-Units] lineyho:
I just installed this unit in a Nissan 370z. I added Polk Audio 6.5 inch componet woofer & tweeter, plus a Bazooka 6.5 power tube subwoofer. Sounds Great. I had to grind about a 1/32 of an ich off the bottom of the factory faceplate to get a perfect fit. I also installed a backup camera that works well. The HU has a good enought S/N ratio for a car. There is very little his. If I were to have no subwoofer, I would put an external amp for the main speakers if you like punchy bass and like to listen to music loud. I didn't expect much regarding the free Nav that came with the unit when I was purchasing, but the seller listed other compatible Map companies so I was not worried about it. The HU came with Sygic. To my supprise, I actually like it, and will use it rather than google maps, unless an address is not recognized. I have not figured out the steering wheel controls yet. I think I can get them working without a SWC module. Just have not had enought time to play with wires.
[Android Head-Units] XlipZ:
I installed on my Opel Corsa and everything working great (Great sound, SWC with no interface...root... etc..etc) EXCEPT for the AUX IN i cant get the signal from my DashCam.... (i get the message "no video input")...

To be honest, I´m positively surprised with this HU (good price, great system)
[Android Head-Units] Cool82:
I am new to android .... where is * u-boot-skip.bin.capacitive *?.

I guess that is not in the system folder because if you are not root, you can not modify system files.

and if you did not change the name and not remove *. capacitive * I guess the custon firmware handles the screen using * u-boot-skip.bin * and if not called that can not handle the screen.

I suppose it's because of that.
[Android Head-Units] swiftmike99:
Ok thanks that helped a little bit, not too much in it that I couldn't figure out on my own. The HU is great if I can work out some kinks, if you are considering buying it go for it.

I am having problem installing some apps, it goes through the install and then comes up us, Application was not installed. Not sure what the problem might be.

The other thing is when I turn off my ignition and restart again the stereo at boot up goes into radio and frequency 88.9. Even though i listened to 106.9 before I rebooted it and all the stations are saved in my memory. I think maybe my cables in the back are wrong and the undistubured power is getting swtiched power and switched power is getting undisturbed power (red/yellow wires).

And how td I change the icons on main screen, Like there are those 5 icons on home screen the big ones at the bottom, how do I get rid of some of them like radio dvd and navigation as I have physical buttons for those and put something like browser, or music icon. The other is a basic android questions how do I delete icons and widgets from screen. I tried the iphone trick of holding it till shakes but it did not work :(.

last but not least how do i search my songs? Like I want to find something by 2pac, I know where it is on my SD card but is there a search function i just put 2p and it will search the sd card for the song?
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
I believe the unit already comes with the GoogleServicesFramework (gsf) if you need to connect it to particular applications then you need the appropriate Google Sync Adapter. Like the ones attached on this post, [G-Apps][GUIDE] Google Apps on the Kindle Fire -Getting Around the Update 11/30.

Try installing Google Play Services. Some developers are beginning to using the location services provided by this package. This is Google's way of providing Android OS's library updates without having to worry about manufacturer abandoning support for a particular version.

No, it is completely different hardware. Actually, the CPUs is the way to distinctly identify the board.

USB HID keyboards and mice should work fine. Bluetooth should not since it is not directly connected to MPU board which handles the low level features that the ARM (Android) board does not.
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
Well, actually, while BT keyboard won't work with the bluetooth module installed inside the unit, it will if you have a compatible BT dongle installed and are running a ROM that supports it:

[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
You might want to look for a vehicle specific replacement instead of the universal version of the Ouku unit that you got. The problem these new Chinese head units is that they require a little larger opening for the dash kits. This actually has been stated on a lot of eBay dash kits.

It doesn't appear that anybody makes one to fit the larger sized faceplates, so if you plan to keep the Universal one you're going to have to whittle away the dash kit to fit it.

Hey team, I've had no luck getting the bluetooth (for phone/music) to work on this unit ""isudar.com/index.php/article/products/products_317.html"" I can't even positively identify it using the wiki page. Is there an android app that would tell me which processor it uses?

I gave the ISUDAR the third degree for selling me bad ****. They sent me a 300meg file, told me to put it on a microSD, insert it to the GPS slot and reboot using the RESET button, but of course none of that worked. I dont hink the GPS slot even works.

Just a quick note (for myself as much as anything else) about the 3G hassles some of us have.

I spent the morning playing around and eventually got my Huawei E160E to show a signal after setting /system/bin/pppd and /system/bin/rild to setuid and setgid, and setting rild.libargs to "-d /dev/ttyUSB2" in build.prop. Not sure exactly which of the changes made it work, because I had a E122 in first, and it still didn't work after all that.

It still won't connect to the internet, but it's a heck of an improvement over not even showing up.

I did get a successful connection using PPP Widget on the E122, but it was extremely slow.

Edit: Ugh... Just went for a drive and it didn't come up with 3G signal at all again. Restarting rild might be how I made it work before.

Having trouble soldering an external mic

I'm having a heck of a time soldering on an external mic to my Ouku 6.2 double din radio. I took the unit apart and located the board containing the red & black wires that go to the built-in mic. I've desoldered the existing wires from the board and soldered two new wires to the board. The new soldered wires then run to a 1/8 3.5mm mono jack which is mounted to the case so that I can plug-in the external mic. I've tested several mics and cannot get outbound audio on any call. I've desoldered and resoldered the wires several times with no success. I've also made sure the +/- are correct. Any thoughts my I may be having such a hard time getting this to work? Am I doing something wrong?

Update - thinking that I screwed up something when I was soldering I went ahead and removed the wires for the external mic and soldered the originals back to the board. The internal mic is working fine and audio is received on the other end. Cannot understand why the external mic mod I'm attempting is failing. I even bypassed the 3.5mm jack and soldered the new mic directly to the board to eliminate the jack as the issue and no luck.

Guess I'm going to get a fail on this mod attempt.
